There are a couple errors with the map that Knowledgia used to show the British Empire at 1:47: 1. The British didn't rule all of Cameroon, they only ruled what is now the Northwest and Southwest Region of the country (or the unrecognized breakaway state of Ambazonia) while the Northern Cameroons joined Nigeria. The rest of Cameroon was French. However from 1884 to 1916, Cameroon was called Kamerun and it was German. 2. It doesn't show British Honduras, what is now Belize. This colony lasted from 1783 to 1981. 3. It doesn't show British Ceylon, what is now Sri Lanka. This colony lasted from 1796 to 1948, though they didn't rule the entire island until 1817. 4. Doesn't show Jamaica. Yes their Caribbean colonies were small, but you can still see Jamaica on this map and it should be red. The colony lasted from 1655 to 1962. 5. They didn't rule over all of Somalia. The only part that was colonized by them was British Somaliland in the northern half (or now just the de facto Republic of Somaliland). They occupied the rest of Somalia during WWII to end Italian control, and it then became an UN Trust Territory until 1960. 6. They didn't rule all of Yemen. Just Aden (which became the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen). What would become Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) was the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen 7. The Falklands aren't red either 8. Fiji isn't red

I am British and have to say that building empires by invading another land by any means, be it military conquest or under the pretence of trade, should be condemned to history, and should be taught not as a means of glorifying a nation, but as a warning of how greed leads to oppression and resentment and ultimately war. The fact is that power corrupts human beings, and an excess of power leads to corruption in excess. We see this in so many countries throughout history. In my view it is better to build alliances, friendships, trade deals, cultural awareness and respect between people from different lands so that everyone has the same opportunities to improve their lives. Another thing to remember is that the wealth of the British Empire reached only a minority of British people. The vast majority of British people were poor, working 6 or 7 days per week in terrible conditions and living 2 or more families in slum housing during the time of the empire. The common person in Britain suffered at the hands of the same wealthy people who were directing the growth of the Empire.

For balance The British empire was also instrumental in stamping out the slave trade. All other civilisations viewed slavery as a given part of life. Africans, for example, were still being slaved in middle Eastern countries right up until the early 19 hundreds. Sadly, African slaves in the middle East were also castrated, hence why we don't have "African Arabians", as we have African Americans. Despite the fact that Islamic countries, against Muslim laws, slaved off more Africans than the Europeans & Americans. Formerly slaved people were given full citizenship. For balance, we must recognise that this was the unique occurrence. Not the slavery itself.

[@sherlocksmuuug6692]

Not that the British government did that solely out of the goodness of their hearts. First of, the economic importance of slavery had already declined when they finally decided to get rid of it. Secondly, increasingly frequent slave revolts in the caribbean had started to make keeping the slaves subjucated more costly than the profits their unfree labour would generate. Thirdly, "Fighting slavery" now became a convenient casus beli to invade and colonize nations that engaged heavily in the slave trade (such as the Ashanti Empire). Polities that had only been able to become so large because the British (in combination with the Arab slave trade, but on the West coast it was mostly the Brits) had been effectively funding them as their main buyer of slaves. There were many brave British abolitionists who sincerely fought slavery and their efforts should be recognized, the collective British government at the time not so much. It's also incorrect to say that "all other civilizations viewed slavery as a given part of life". That's just not true. TLDR: Abolishing the slave trade rather early on was good, the motives not so much. And that is not me going out of my way bashing the British in particular, basically every major polity during that time had very selfish motivations even for the good things they did. History just shouldn't be sanitized, that's doing a disservice to all our past.

William (the dutch ruler) was forced to sign an agreement that basically handed over a shit ton of power to Parliament, and severely cut down the power of the monarch. The Dutch (or more accurately William) weren't in control. If they were, Parliament might not have let them invade.

If a country as small and weak as America could fight and win freedom from the British, it begs the question why others did not do the same. History may show that not only did Britain fight for the fair treatment of many of the places where they did trade. Those nations benefitted enormously from the British in other ways where they may not have had kind rulers of their own. Many Africans were freed from slavery ...from being bought and sold...by the blood sweat and tears of the British. Many institutions were left behind by the British when they were finally driven out...how much of that would have been there without their presence? That the British were colonizers and oft times brutal, it should be balanced against what was there before their arrival. Much of Africa once colonized and ruled by Europeans, has sunk into a corrupt form of dictatorship with slavery again re-emerging. History is not simple. People are not simple. Large populations have every form of good and evil people within, many without the restraints of morality, ethics and religion. Communist countries have the worst reputation for the treatment of people while promising the good...They have no belief in God and will not allow that belief.

They were actually paying for their own defense. Was Britain supposed to protect them for free? Now the US is the current empire interfering everywhere and not always at the wish of or for the benefit of the places they have interfered. As I said elsewhere, look at the former British colonies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even the US Left with legal and governmental basics to create stability. What they did with it remains up to those nations.

[@lmtellsho6283]

@@susieq9801 I think that "taxation without representation" as a myth is probably going too far. As many rallying cries, it was used, but was it the only reason for revolt? A long way from it. Monarchy is a dictatorship by another name. Could be benign, could be horrific. The more removed the authority/power from the people, the more likely the revolt. Not to imply that pure democracy should rule...it has it's own problems. The point is that there is a tipping point where those in power are so removed from the people being governed that they cannot justify their decisions or serve the people well enough to prevent a revolt. There is virtue in subsidiarity and solidarity is hard to maintain at a distance.

[@susieq9801]

@@lmtellsho6283 - Unfortunately what you say is true. Right now in the US the people in power are very far removed from the people they rule. The US is both a theocracy and a plutocracy. Not much different from a monarchy since it's till rule by wealthy and usually hierarchical families only under a different guise.

There are two sides to every story. Sure some of the things we did were not good at the time, but you are seeing the world from a modern perspective, and not the reality of that age. India at the time was in a constant war between Muslims and Hindus, and other sects. Britain brought an end to that squabbling. I'll give you an example of the British and Indian logic at the time... an Englishman called Sir Charles Napier went to India, and he observed a practice called Suti (widow burning), when he asked the hindu chief why is it they burn their women, for this practice is evil... the Hindu priest said "this is our custom and you should respect it, that we burn the widows of rich men". Sir Charles then replied "if this is your custom and I am to respect it, then I shall follow up with my custom, for it is custom in England to hang men who kill women, so if you continue with your custom of Suti, then I shall proceed with mine". Yes it is true we did evil things, but we also did many great things for India too. We built the roads and the buildings, we brought trade and we brought medicine, we brought trains and showed the people how to farm their land properly and how to rejuvenate it, how to better preserve water supplies and how to survive the monsoon season's destruction, how to handle wildfires. On top of that, we brought democracy and laws. In every empire throughout history, there is bad deeds done, but the British unlike every empire before them, dd more good than bad. There is a an English saying that states, to tame a horse one must use both the carrot and the stick.

[@suhu8246]

let me tell you a story - During the world war the British sent many indian troops to fight on their behalf to foreign countries . Since a working army requires food supply the Britishers took away all the food supplies from the Indian state of West Bengal . People of Bengal started to die due to lack of food ,mothers were begging for food for there young children . This food was snatched by the British as extra food for themselves for 'just incase' it could be used . This phenomenon led to something called the Bengal famine . British soldiers posted in Bengal got worried about the brutal sight of the state due to millions of deaths of people , so some soldiers went and informed Winston Churchill about the Bengal famine and innumerable deaths of innocent people and urged to give the people some food . On that Winston replied Why hasn't Gandhi died yet ?

@DiZ Zkl Of course we did it for ourselves. It is not the reason why someone does something that matters, but the thing that is done and the finalised product, that is what matters. No nation is selfless, we're men not angels. A wasp nest will eat everything it can around it, it does not care about the corn on the field it inhabits, it eats the pests to help its nest and feed itself. But by doing so, it removes just enough of the grasshoppers around the field, and so they cannot become a swarm of locusts. Therefore this helps the corn, and therefore the farmer. The wasp did what it did for selfish reasons, but the outcome was beneficial all the same.

While Britannia ruled the waves, the Mongols ruled the land. As the Mongol Empire was the largest land empire. As an Iraqi saying goes: "If two fish fight in the Tigris, the British are behind it" I mean they did divide the Middle East with the French without caring for the people too. It wasn't just the Indian subcontinent they did that. and if colonization of India wasn't enough, can't forget about the atrocious border between India and what is now Bangladesh that they left behind. Basically, picture the India-Bangladesh border, and now picture it as if it was a connect-the-dot drawing....that was the result. There was enclaves (a part of country inside another country) everywhere, and it was so bad it had the world's only third-order enclave...a piece of India inside of a piece of Bangladesh inside of a piece of India inside Bangladesh. Yup. Thankfully, it was resolved peacefully in 2015 where the Indian enclaves within Bangladesh were given to Bangladesh while the Bangladeshi enclaves within India were given to India, leading to the end of *162 enclaves*

The exceptions being India and Australia, where things were just... awful. But the thing is, a lot of the infastructure built is still used today in these nations. It is also worth noting that the partition of India was done at indias request, and that the caste system has nothing to do with british colonialism.
